Woman's World (1954)
8/10
A simply and great '50s comedy

Woman's World it's one of the most underrated (and forgotten) comedies made in Hollywood during the 1950s. And personally I found it very funny and the plot kept me interested troughout the movie.

Three men aspire for a promotion in a car company, and the president (Webb) decides that each is fit for the job, but his decision will be based on their wives. Bill (Wilde) and Katie (Allyson) care about each other too much, Sid (MacMurray) and Elizabeth (Bacall) fight constantly as he is a workaholic, and Jerry (Heflin) and Carol (Dahl) seem to want the job no matter what it takes, and Carol lets herself more free from her husband, letting him take the job.

This movie is directed by Jean Negulesco, fresh from the success of ''How to Marry a Milionaire'', and the cast is top-notch. Cornel Wilde and June Allyson are awesome, and Allyson's character was so funny and goofy; Lauren Bacall and Fred MacMurray are as always excellent, and Van Heflin and Arlene Dahl were also funny, especially Arlene as a mischievous wife. And Clifton Webb did also a fine job here. I loved it very much and Woman's World it's nothing revolutionary, but only funny and likeable.
